ANNOTATION: “ Evidence strongly supports the notion that juvenile offenders, both with and without disabilities, are significantly more likely to experience successful reentry into their home schools and communities if appropriate programs and supports are in place” (p. 1). Strategies for effectively meeting the reentry needs of disabled justice-involved youth are described. Sections of this analysis include: overview and background—what reentry is, federal efforts to support successful reentry, prevalence of students with disabilities I the juvenile justice system, why reentry programming matters, and recommended reentry strategies; examples of state reentry approaches and common themes for Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, and Oregon.
